I am really hungry...What should i do?

Question

I haven't ate anything today. My Surgery is at 2:30pm right not it is 12:00pm. After i have the 8 teeth (Including wisdom teeth) What will i be able to eat? Because i will be starving. Or will my appetite be gone after waking up from being out of it?

Answer 1

Wow!  That's a lot of teeth at once.  Try to chew gum. It wont fill your belly, but the chewing action will help fool your brain into thinking you are eating. Drink water.  I don't think you will be hungry when you wake up.  I don't remember being hungry for several hours.

Answer 2

well when you first woke up you should have ate a bowl of cereal or something. because after you get your teeth pulled you wont be able to eat anything for a while. you will still be hungry when your procedure is done. if you want maybe you can stop somewhere and get a kids meal before going in to the dental office.

Answer 3

As long as you don't chew and swallow but rather suck on the peppermint, it's fine.

I've had oral surgery three, including getting my wisdom teeth cut out. I lived on mashed potatoes and pudding. The mashed potatoes are smooth and don't require chewing and will get you full. Whatever you do, DON'T use a straw after your surgery. You will get "Dry Socket" and your mouth will not heal. You doc will advise you of this. Good luck.

Answer 4

You shouldn't eat the peppermint or anything until after your dental work is done. You will probably only be able to eat soft foods like Jello, soup thru a straw, mashed potatoes, pudding, etc. I'm sure you will have an appetite after the meds wear off  but you won't be able to chew that well.  

Answer 5

welcome to the club. I had four wisdom teeth taken out last month, I was swollen for a week. I advice you to have yogurt and ice cream for the first couple of days, then start soup eating but make sure they are not hot.  

Answer 6

After your surgery you probably won't be hungry right away. But you will want to eat things that don't require chewing. Nothing hot either.  So pudding, jello, ice cream, mashed potatoes at room temp, those types of things. Good Luck!!

Answer 7
